It crashes for me too (IDL 5.5, Windows 2000). IDL quits
immediately--I don't get a chance to see any error messages.

I have never had a crash before related to keyword inheritance in IDL
5.5, though I use keyword inheritance extensively. But then I never
use the idiom you do in test1, ie. passing a string array to
_EXTRA. (One of the reasons I do not do this is that it does not
support keyword abbreviations.) Can you do without it? Ie:

PRO test1, _REF_EXTRA = extra
test2, INDGEN (10), _EXTRA=extra
END

or in IDL 5.5 only:

PRO test1, _REF_EXTRA = extra
test2, INDGEN (10), _STRICT_EXTRA=extra
END
